John Legend is People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” — and no one is happier than his wife, Chrissy Teigen.

Now, John has a good sense of humor about the whole thing. He even poked fun at himself compared to last year’s “sexiest man”, Idris Elba.

1995 John would be very perplexed to be following 2018 @IdrisElba as #SexiestManAlive. Hell, 2019 John is about as equally perplexed but thank you @People for finding me sexy. I'll take it pic.twitter.com/Gw1la5Ebv4

But, Legend also knew that this new distinction would cause some controversy. In the mag he stated, “I’m excited but a little scared at the same time.” Scared because of this…

However, in John’s defense, the man is a super successful EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), stand-up husband, doting dad, political active, and so much more. Maybe the definition of what’s “sexy” has changed? Yes, yes it has, and these people agree.

Congratulations!!! So very well deserved!! It’s not just your talent, charm, charisma, empathy or good looks. It’s also the unabashed way you love your family, treat people with kindness & respect, your activism & the size of your heart. @chrissyteigen a very lucky lady❤️

I’m all in. He is handsome, kind, thoughtful, funny, talented , and cares about others less fortunate. Not much is sexier.
